Vacuum-drying in the transformer tank
1. Heat up the on-load tap-changer in air at atmospheric pressure with a
temperature increase of approximately 10 °C/h to a final temperature of
maximum 110 °C.
2. Pre-dry the on-load tap-changer in circulating air at a maximum tempera-
ture of 110 °C for a period of at least 20 hours.
3. Vacuum-dry on-load tap-changer at between 105 °C and maximum
125 °C for at least 50 hours.
4. Residual pressure of no more than 10
-3
bar.
If you wish to perform another transformer ratio test after drying, proceed as
described in the section "Performing transformer ratio test following dry-
ing" [
5.3.7.2 Vapor-phase drying in the transformer tank
If you have opened the kerosene drain plug already (e.g. after the trans-
former ratio test), you can begin the drying [
right away.
Otherwise, you first have to open the kerosene drain plug before you can be-
gin the drying.

cluded in delivery.
5.3.7.2.1.2 Removing on-load tap-changer head cover
WARNING
Danger of explosion!
Danger of death from explosive gases under the on-load tap-changer head
cover!
► Ensure that there are no open flames, hot surfaces or sparks (for exam-
ple caused by static charging) in the immediate surroundings and that
none arise.
► De-energize all auxiliary circuits (for example tap-change supervisory de-
vice) before removing the on-load tap-changer head cover.
► Do not operate any electrical devices during the work (for example risk of
sparks caused by impact wrench).
► Only use conductive and grounded hoses, pipes, and pump equipment
that are approved for flammable liquids.
